    fluid flows, the more pressure it applies. How did Daniel Bernoulli figure out that faster fluids (when i say fluids,I mean liquids and gases) give off lower pressure and slower fluids give out higher pressure? He was looking at how water flows through pipes of different diameters. He noticed that as the water was flowing through a fairly large pipe it was flowing fairly slow, but as it entered a more narrow pipe, its speed was increased. Bernoulli figured that there had to be something forcing the
